European Foundations looking to recruit Programme Director to lead a Collaborative Programme on migration and integration in Europe, and to help develop and implement its next stage of institutional and substantive growth.
When the current phase of the European Programme for Integration and Migration (EPIM) ends in 2015, the Programme will have completed ten years and three phases of strategic grant-making and capacity development for NGOs advocating for constructive approaches to migration in Europe. 11 European Foundations participating in EPIM aim to expand the scale of EPIM’s engagement in the next phase from 2016 to 2018.
The most significant features of EPIM’s fourth funding phase will be:
- a new operational model for collaborative re-granting comprising targeted thematic Sub-Funds, allowing for more flexible grant-making on targeted topic areas and timely responses to emerging opportunities and threats in the field. Rolling Calls for Proposals will replace the current three-year Call cycle;
- an increased scope for EPIM’s capacity development programme, more specialised and targeted to the specific needs of grantee organisations;
- the enhanced capacity of the EPIM Secretariat in Brussels, enabling it to become a more proactive support centre and convenor for grantees and other field stakeholders.
EPIM’s Partner Foundations delegate the delivery of the Programme to the EPIM Secretariat, backed by the support, accountability and oversight of the EPIM Steering Committee. In order to drive the expanded activities of the Secretariat and Programme, and engage funders and grantees in the years to come, the EPIM Secretariat seeks a Programme Director with demonstrable experience of developing and managing a grants programme, and expertise in the field of migration and integration at European level.
The Programme Director will be responsible for the management and operational coordination of EPIM. S/he will develop, implement and follow-up the operational elements of the EPIM work programme. Reporting to the EPIM Chair and Steering Committee, the Programme Director will supervise the EPIM team as well as all staff and consultants who will be hired by EPIM.
